- Innovative Reel System
- Immense Multipliers through Avalanche Feature
- Stunning Design
- Rather Lower Return to Player
Perhaps NetEnt’s most successful slot of all time is the Gonzo’s Quest slot. This game was one of the first video slots made without spinning wheels; instead the symbols fall down in columns. This innovative feature, which nowadays is quite common in slots, allows for re-spins, or rather re-falls, so you can win time and time again in the same game round. Gonzo’s Quest also features multipliers that can get as high as x5 in the main game, while the bonus games, which are free spins, can give you a x15 multiplier!
Falling symbols and multipliers
There are five columns in this video slot, and each column contains three symbols. Across these columns, there are 20 horizontal pay lines, and you win as soon as you have three of the same symbol on one of these lines.
Once you get three or more of the same symbol on a payline these symbols, which are supposed to look like blocks of stone, will explode and be replaced by new symbols falling down from the top, so you once again have three symbols per column. In addition, the multiplier will move up one step. The steps for the multipliers are x1, x2, x3 and x5. So the more times you win per game round, the bigger your wins can be. When there are no more winning combinations the multiplier will reset to x1 for the next game round.
In addition to all the normal symbols, there is also a wild symbol, and this can replace all other symbols, including the free spins symbol.
Bonus game – Free Spins
The bonus game in Gonzo’s Quest slot is triggered when you get three free spins symbols, in the shape of a gold coin, on a payline. Some of these symbols can also be replaced by the wild symbol. You’ll get 10 free spins, or free falls, per payline, but it is possible to trigger the free spins bonus round on more than just one payline at a time. If you for instance get your free spins symbols on a diagonal line over the first three columns you’ll trigger 20 free spins, as two different paylines cover these positions. You can also re-trigger free spins in the bonus round itself, as these symbols are also a part of these free game rounds.
In the free falls bonus, you’ll get to pay for free, with an additional bonus feature. Here the multipliers that will ensure bigger wins are higher. The lowest multiplier is x3, increasing to x6, x9 and finally x15, if you continue to win on the same game round.
The volatility of the bonus round is quite high, so you could be unlucky and win just a little bit, or you could also be very lucky and win tens of thousands of coins! The maximum win is 2500 coins without any multiplier, so just imagine what you can win if you get this combination in the free spins round!
